The landscape of Soller is lush and green, dotted with fruit trees and olive groves, and makes a gorgeous backdrop for a hike or bike ride. Sóller is one of the most charming towns on the island of Mallorca and is located in one of the most fertile regions of the west coast, in a valley of citrus groves. Completely surrounded by mountains, this village was difficult to reach except by sea, through its port, until in 1912 the railway line connecting Sóller to Palma de Mallorca was opened. To travel this 27 km route today in a wooden carriage that moves between bridges and 13 tunnels and climbs up the slopes of the surrounding mountains, is a real journey through time. The magic of the train lasted until the 1970s, when thanks to the excavation of a tunnel, a road connecting Sóller directly to Palma was built.
